Re: Crossfire vs Mustang GT
The '03 - '04 Mustang Cobra is faster than both a base crossfire and an SRT-6. A Crossfire is to the SRT-6 as the Mustang GT is to the Cobra, the main difference being a supercharger. Having said that, the Mustang is still only good for drag racing. The SRT-6 is a more refined ride that handles exponentially better. The Cobra is a dangerous car at even moderate speeds around corners.
My roommate has a friend that works with this guy who owns an '03 Cobra that is modified and runs low 11 sec 1/4 miles. He always tells me that he wants to race my SRT-6 which I just decline since it wouldn't be much of a race. Well just the other day he took my roommate for a ride. They drove down a highway that My roommate and I take everyday to work. When you get onto the highway there is a long curve that is barely a turn, I have taken it over 120+ mph with no issues at all, nice and smooth like it was a straight line. I had a good laugh when my roommate told me they were taking this "turn" at around 80-100 mph and the rear tires were losing traction and sliding all over the place. He said it scared the crap out of him everytime they hit a corner the car would be all over the place. He told my roommate that the fastest he had the car was 140 mph and it was "too scary" so he had to slow down. When he started the car up the engine smoked and he said it was because it was so powerful! 
PS: I Love the new mustangs. Almost bought one before I saw the Crossfire.
